A boy band which came in third on the X Factor in 2010, their fanbase consists of teen or pre-teen girls who care little about the music itself and merely wish to ogle the five boys as much as possible. These fans call themselves Directioners, not to be confused with Directionaters, and have become extremely possessive of the five boys in the band, despite the fact that these five people will never know of their existence. All of these fangirls will post variations of the definition of this boyband, most of which will include they words "hot" or "sexy", and won't really mention any music at all.

Directioner: I love One Direction, they are soooo hot! And sexy!

Sensible Person: What do their looks have to do with their music?...

Directioner: Does it matter? *stares at picture of boyband longingly* They are soooo hot! Their music is AWESOME! And they are sexy!

Sensible Person:Personally, i hate them.

Directioner: How dare you insult my future husband(s)! Their music is AWESOME and they are SO HOT!

Sensible Person: *realizes he/she is talking to a Directioner who will not see reason, presses on anyways* If they're so awesome, why don't they have any BOY fans?

Directioner: ...The're still hot.

Sensible Person: *sighs, walks away, and listens to iPod (Panic! at the Disco music) to wipe his/her mind of this awful discussion with crazed fangirl*
